BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- Head coach Lisa Jackson kicks off her first season as UAB's women's tennis coach this weekend when her team hosts three matches to open up the 2013 slate.

The Blazers' Friday contest against Kennesaw State has been moved to 9:30 a.m. CT. The match, which was originally scheduled for 10:30 a.m., will be played indoors at Samford's Pat M. Courington Tennis Pavillion due to cold weather.

UAB returns to George Ward Park to host Georgia Southern at 9:30 a.m. CT on Saturday, before taking on Mercer at Noon CT Sunday on the Samford campus.

"We are excited to get started," UAB head coach Lisa Jackson said. "This team has been working hard, and I am thrilled to begin the season with such great competition this weekend."
